4 0r 5 Little boxes?

Post by blue_crush »

I went with the strip and gut option. down to the bare essentials, a steering column and a but load of wires. I know that one of the boxes is the power antenna. theirs a silver box that was on the passengers side at the rear also that doesnt have any markings on it. and a small one on the rear section with the tail light wires. Then the one under the drivers seat and the other one under the sterio.??? Im goin 98% drag so i still need head lights and stuff. not sure if i need these boxes or not?

I've wired up 2 cars and after that.. I'd say buy a painless kit. Race wiring is a pain in the ass unless you're 100% confident it your wiring abilities.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
